Since the onset of the pandemic, catching glimpses of a coworker’s spouse, kid, pet, or parent has become normal. While at first it led to some embarrassment, the reality is that this is creating a positive change in workplace culture.
The reality is that work and life have become completely blended during the pandemic, and this has brought to center stage the different priorities that workers need to juggle and manage on a day to day basis. In other words, this has humanized work by allowing companies to have a glimpse into their employees’ daily lives and routines.
Beyond making it obvious that there’s more to an employee than their time at work, these glimpses and relaxation of professional image has created a more flexible work experience and it has helped create empathy between colleagues. All of which translates into a more positive workplace culture.
Companies stand to benefit from this as well, as this change allows workers to bring their authentic self to work, which can improve engagement, productivity, and overall happiness.
